I literally did the $700 off trade in for an S20 FE yesterday. I have yet to trade in my phone (iPhone 8) for the $700 off credit. They give me 30 days to trade it in. Could I instead return my S20 FE, and get one of these for the $800 off? I think I may be able to, just have to pay a restocking fee.

Update: I went to the AT&T store and I am returning the S20 FE and getting an S21 Ultra. They wouldn't waive the restocking fee because I opened/started using the phone already. My family member did not open their S20+ and they waived the restocking fee for him. However they are letting me keep the S20 FE and use it until the S21 Ultra arrives. The rep said this was a new policy they were doing.

What condition does the trade have to be in? Does a cracked screen qualify?

All these offers are horsesh*t. Get the trade in value over 30 billing credits. What the title of these offers should be is, sign a 30 month contract and we'll let you trade in your phone.

Interesting, anyone feel like putting together a guide on where/what cheapest phones can be bought to acquire this trade in for an S21 and/or bill credit?

Can you downgrade to share limited (4g) after signup?

You can trade-in a phone with a cracked screen for less value; it's listed on the page.

Samsung trade-in is incredibly hit-or-miss. I sent them a nearly new phone, they replied saying the trade-in was rejected because the IMEI is blacklisted and the phone is locked with a passcode/password. Neither of those things is true. In fact, their own supplied photos (they took 3 photos and sent them to me) shows the phone on the "Get Started" screen, which precludes the possibility of a passcode. The IMEI is completely clean.

I complained via chat, and the CSR appealed the decision. The trade-in has been sitting in "Paused" status since then. No updates for about a week.

I was "smart", and took photos and a detailed video showing that everything on the phone was working and that it was in good physical condition.

So if you do a trade-in with Samsung, be prepared for a potential fight.

Should be able to, 14 day buyers remorse period.

You must remain on an unlimited plan during entirity of the installment, or you will lose credits.

No, you would have to have it repaired prior to still be eligible.

Dang I was about to bite but saw it requires an unlimited plan. All of their "deals" do these days Frown

I miss the days of every 2 years AT&T would just give you a significant discount (or free) phone per line.

pretty much all of their plans will forever require it. Heck, we only even have 1 non-unlimited plan available anymore. Single line 4GB plan.

I had no problems trading in my S7 for an S9. Now I'll be trading in that S9 for a S21. Thanks for that reminder to document the condition of my phone before I return it.
